Anyone seen "The Dark Side of Oz"?

[Admin]

I just got a copy of this movie tonight and its pretty incredible. This is the regular Wizard of Oz movie, with all of the audio removed from it and the Pink Floyd album, The Dark Side of the Moon, added to it as the audio. It was done like this because there is a lot of thought that Pink Floyd wrote this album with the intention of synching it to the movie and I have to say that so far its a definite possibility.

I've always heard of people doing it themselves, I didn't know someone actually put it together on a DVD or whatever.

worth a watch?

Yeah I dont think (or know) that you can buy it in a store or anything. The one I got a copy of was done by some individual group who did an incredible job synching it up.

As for it being worth watching, well its probably not your run of the mill friday night movie, but I'm sure there are ways to make it enjoyable.

Synopsis

~The Dark Side of Oz~

Crappy Logo Productions premiere fan edit; this is the latest and possibly the

best version of the now legendary Movie and Album Synchronicity and is TRULY a

must have for your collection!!

syn·chro·nic·i·ty (sing'kr?-nis'i-te, sin'-) n., pl. -ties.

1. The state or fact of being synchronous or simultaneous; synchronism.

2. Coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related, conceived in

Jungian theory as an explanatory principle on the same order as causality.

Several years ago a rumor began to circulate about a strange connection between

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (1973) and the MGM classic film The Wizard of

Oz (1939). If you properly synchronize the film and the album, as the rumor

goes, a number of coincidental events occur. So many, in fact that a large

audience is convinced that Pink Floyd intentionally created “Dark Side of the

Moon” as an alternative soundtrack to the film. Just to cite a few examples,

side one of the LP is the same length as the first black-and-white segment of

the movie; "The Great Gig in the Sky" begins as the tornado approaches Dorothy's

farm, builds as the storm worsens, and slows when Dorothy is knocked

unconscious; "Brain Damage" plays as the Scarecrow sings "If I Only Had a

Brain"; and the album concludes with the sound of a heartbeat as Dorothy puts

her hand on the Tin Woodsman's chest.

Over time this rumor has taken on a life of its own and inspired many people to

try to find other "synchronicities" between films and albums.
